Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis Summary for Policymakers:
Abstract: The Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report describes progress in understanding of the
human and natural drivers of climate change1, observed climate change, climate processes and attribution, and
estimates of projected future climate change. It builds upon past IPCC assessments and incorporates new findings from the past six years of research. Scientific progress since the TAR is based upon large amounts of new and more
comprehensive data, more sophisticated analyses of data, improvements in understanding of processes and their
simulation in models, and more extensive exploration of uncertainty ranges.

Global projections of future cropland expansion to 2050 and direct impacts on biodiversity and carbon storage
Amy Molotoks,Elke Stehfest,Jonathan Doelman,Fabrizio Albanito,Nuala Fitton,Terence P. Dawson,Pete Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Examination of projections of future cropland expansion from an integrated assessment model IMAGE 3.0 under a “business as usual” scenario and the direct impact on both biodiversity and C storage shows that if projected trends are realized, there are likely to be severe consequences for these resources.

Coral energy reserves and calcification in a high-CO2 world at two temperatures.
Verena Schoepf,Andréa G. Grottoli,Mark E. Warner,Wei-Jun Cai,Todd F. Melman,Kenneth D. Hoadley,D. Tye Pettay,Xinping Hu,Qian Li,Hui Xu,Yongchen Wang,Yohei Matsui,Justin H. Baumann +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that coral energy reserves are generally not metabolized to sustain calcification under OA, which has important implications for coral health and bleaching resilience in a high-CO2 world.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on extremes in the historical instrumental period and consider a range of phenomena, including temperature and precipitation extremes, tropical and extra-tropical storms, hydrological extremes, and transient extreme sea level events.
Response of the temperate coral Cladocora caespitosa to mid- and long-term exposure to p CO 2 and temperature levels projected for the year 2100 AD
Riccardo Rodolfo-Metalpa,Sophie Martin,Christine Ferrier-Pagès,Jean-Pierre Gattuso,Jean-Pierre Gattuso +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown, using the Mediterranean zooxanthellate coral Cladocora caespitosa, that an increase in pCO2, in the range predicted for 2100, does not reduce its calcification rate, and the conventional belief that calcification rates will be affected by ocean acidification may not be widespread in temperate corals.
Hydroxyl radicals from secondary organic aerosol decomposition in water
Haijie Tong,Andrea M. Arangio,Pascale S. J. Lakey,Thomas Berkemeier,Fobang Liu,Christopher J. Kampf,Christopher J. Kampf,William H. Brune,Ulrich Pöschl,Manabu Shiraiwa +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, ambient and laboratory-generated secondary organic aerosols (SOA) form substantial amounts of OH radicals upon interaction with liquid water, which can be explained by the decomposition of organic hydroperoxides.
